Level 3 BLAS
Most of the Level 3 BLAS is derived from GEMM, so that is the primary focus of the optimization.
- operations vs. data
The intuition that the operations will dominate over the data accesses only works for roughly square matrices. The real measure should be some kind of surface area to volume. The difference becomes important for very non-square matrices.

Famous quotes containing the word level:
“To punish drug takers is like a drunk striking the bleary face it sees in the mirror. Drugs will not be brought under control until society itself changes, enabling men to use them as primitive man did: welcoming the visions they provided not as fantasies, but as intimations of a different, and important, level of reality.”
—Brian Inglis (b. 1916)
